Picture sand-spruced pathways, immaculate waters and a warm and bubbly social hub that marries excited undertones with the utmost laid-back energy. This is Antigua, the big sister island of the glorious twin-island country of Antigua and Barbuda. While smaller in size and reputation, Barbuda is the remote and understated island of the pair, which has enjoyed a flurry of investment and visitation in the last decade.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/301749/image/large-bb7b24478a8aa833205474b7b9c9c385.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/301749">Cruising in Antigua and Barbuda is the perfect choice for those seeking a retreat from the fast-paced commotion of everyday life.

A closer look at the Antigua and Barbuda

Jessamie Rattray takes a closer look at the glorious Antigua and Barbuda as a superyacht cruising ground.


Ultimate Nautical Bliss: A closer look at Antigua and Barbuda

When most people envision superyacht cruising destinations, their minds often wander to the sun-soaked Caribbean or the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean. Yet the provinces of Atlantic Canada, also known as the Maritime Provinces, with their rugged charm and allure, are not typically the first superyacht cruising destinations that spring to mind. Despite this, many superyachts venture into this region. Atlantic Canada encompasses four distinct provinces: Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland &amp; Labrador.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300254/image/large-46eae81c53fc4431b2a8c8e1d69a8081.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300254"><a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times</a> recently engaged in a discussion with Adam and Amanda Langley, founders of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7520" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht East Coast (Company)">Superyacht East Coast</a>, a company specialising in promoting the development and interconnection of marinas in the region to optimise their operational efficiency. Adam, with his prior experience in marine operations and development for Develop Nova Scotia, a government initiative, observed that many yachts were initially unaware of Nova Scotia as a destination, perceiving it as remote, despite its proximity to the Northeast Coast of the United States.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300294/image/large-2a2af7718170971c61b1d78e74764f01.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300294">Data sourced from <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times</a>&nbsp; covering the period from 2022 onwards, illustrates a consistent number of superyacht visits to Atlantic Canada during the summer months. A deeper analysis reveals that there were 35 superyacht visits in 2023, closely paralleling the 34 visits in 2022.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300317/image/large-480e666286279f1ae4db7540246e582a.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300317">Reflecting on the increasing presence of superyachts in Atlantic Canada, Adam remarked: “A decade ago, there were barely any superyachts in the region, around a handful. Now, when we attend boat shows in Fort Lauderdale or Palm Beach and mention that about 40 superyachts visited Halifax last summer, people are genuinely shocked.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300307/image/large-48caad71fec562e79e8eec623b09f23b.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300307">Captain Chris Walsh of the 67.75-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/108" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Archimedes67.75m (222'3&quot;)Feadship2008">Archimedes</a> shared his perspective on the region's unique appeal, noting: “my first time in the area was in 2004, the main attraction of Atlantic Canada is its unspoiled nature. With plenty of interesting activities, readily available docks, and numerous harbours, the region is a haven for those who love the outdoors, nature, and wildlife. Its perceived remoteness is misleading, as it's quite accessible from the Northeast Coast of the USA. Its status as a hidden gem is precisely what I find appealing.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300252/image/large-30286e1893f344185741ca7a5fa7f999.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300252">Echoing Walsh’s sentiment, Amanda Langley further underscored the region's growing attraction among superyacht owners. She highlighted the distinct allure of Atlantic Canada, saying, “The distinctive authenticity offers a stark contrast to the experiences in places like Florida and Monaco.” She explained that owners are increasingly attracted to the region, not in search of experiences akin to those found in Fort Lauderdale, but for the novel and enriching adventures exclusive to this region.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300255/image/large-b63172d5acac87e80173f7bb72e548ee.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300255">In discussing the diversity of cruising destinations within Atlantic Canada, Adam and Amanda highlighted approximately five distinct areas, each with their own charm and challenges. They specifically emphasised the Bay of Fundy, famous for having the world's highest tides. Recognising the concerns these conditions may pose for captains, they stated: “We ensure superyacht captains venturing into the region have a thorough understanding of the local maritime environments by providing advice and guidance to support diverse itineraries and safe navigation through our waters.” As for Fundy’s tides, they only impact a small portion of the province with the rest of Nova Scotia experiencing 1.5–2.5 metre tidal ranges.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300286/image/large-7083005641923f9e5a9c0c1706f6f8f9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300286">Captain Emile Bootsma of the 60.35-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/185" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Blue Moon60.35m (197'12&quot;)Feadship2005">Blue Moon</a> described the region with vivid enthusiasm. “It possesses beauty to match Maine and the isolation akin to Alaska, offering everything an adventurous superyacht owner could desire and more. The region has gorgeous, isolated anchorages, flat calm waters, and an abundance of cultural and historic interests”.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300302/image/large-4160adbd48b60fff2cee92e43ddbce5f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300302">Expanding on the region's diversity, Adam states, “On the western shore of Nova Scotia, there's a body of water we affectionately refer to the Mediterranean of the North with water temperatures that surprisingly reach into the high 20s Celsius during summer, often warmer than many expect.” He continued, “Additionally, our province is home to Cape Breton Island, which has an inland sea. Remarkably, a 200-foot yacht can navigate through a canal to enter this brackish, saltwater habitat known as The Bras d’Or Lake.” Amanda chimed in, commenting: “I believe it's yachting’s best-kept secret. Over the past year, we've collaborated with the tourism association in Cape Breton Island to raise awareness of this hidden gem.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300311/image/large-053369221d18a0d29a5f3777e5fc89c7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300311">Captain Walsh further emphasised the beauty of Cape Breton, articulating how the region fosters a deep connection with the maritime world, which is at the heart of what yachting enthusiasts cherish. He shared his experiences, stating, “Visiting Cape Breton feels like a reconnection to the essence of the maritime world. It's a sentiment we all deeply appreciate”. He also reflected on his journey to southern Newfoundland, drawing a captivating comparison: “The experience there was remarkable. It reminded me of the ports of Norway with their extraordinary enchantment and natural beauty.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291312/image/large-d06d20ce9ed9d3c1eccf1c1eed22078f.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291312">Captain Ken Bracewell of the 47.1-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/864" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Berilda47.1m (154'6&quot;)Feadship2001">Berilda</a> provided additional insights into the attractions of Cape Breton, particularly highlighting its golfing excellence. “Cape Breton is home to some world-class golf courses,” he explained: “Specifically, Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs stand out as two of the best in the world. Additionally, several other courses in the vicinity deserve world-class recognition for their quality and challenge. Notably, on nearby Prince Edward Island, Dundarave and Crowbush stand out. Also, Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island, presents an exceptionally well-protected harbour and a charming city to explore”.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300247/image/large-7182b984f524411d0d9807555d3d365e.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300247">Adding a further personal perspective to the region Captain Bracewell shared: “Nova Scotia, meaning New Scotland, truly lives up to its name, the resemblance to the Scottish coastline is striking. When you're there, it feels distinctly like Scotland, almost as though you've stepped out of North America and into a different part of the world”.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300304/image/large-7852a5aa27ca2afa8cffbe5a38457001.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300304">The maritime heritage of Nova Scotia is deeply ingrained, showcasing a rich seafaring history that spans centuries. During the age of sail, it was renowned as one of the world’s foremost builders of sailing ships. This legacy has cultivated a wealth of professional services and maritime expertise, catering to a broad spectrum of needs, ranging from commercial and recreational vessels to superyachts. Adam Langley, emphasising this point, stated, “A crucial factor that reassures captains is the region's developing shipyard and marine service providers. They offer dependable resources for necessary repairs or maintenance, ensuring a seamless continuation of their voyage”.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300330/image/large-f54bd5382a3b8b329f8a6872e07b3293.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300330">The region has been steadily enhancing its infrastructure to better accommodate superyacht visitation, with Halifax emerging as a 'port of confidence.' This term signifies a destination where captains can expect a seamless experience, supported by a full suite of services tailored to their needs. The city’s robust infrastructure contributes to its appeal as a superyacht hub. Elaborating on Halifax's allure, Amanda noted, “Superyachts can dock right in the heart of the city, providing immediate access to the finest restaurants, art galleries, and museums. You're essentially at the centre of everything. Moreover, the proximity to an international airport simplifies logistics for guests and crew, including arrivals and changes.”In further sharing his insights, Captain Bracewell highlighted the city’s charm. “Halifax is an exceptional city with a vibrant food culture and fantastic restaurants,”. He further added, &nbsp;“What’s more, just a six to ten-hour cruise away, you can reach remarkably remote areas. These locations, known for their serene beauty and tranquillity, are largely inaccessible by any means other than by sea”.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300301/image/large-ee536deb4cc23de3be2601656a896b4d.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300301">Adding to the discussion of the region’s infrastructure, Chris Walsh highlighted the ease of yachting operations in less crowded spaces. "It makes it very easy to reconnect," Walsh noted. "Here, you're not competing with so many other superyachts for a little spot or a service from someone. The less crowded environment is a significant advantage, making the cruising experience more relaxed and enjoyable.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300263/image/large-097395da51eb70722090986048e3f0c6.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300263">Adam further elucidated that “While Halifax acts as a gateway supporting the broader itinerary across the province, it’s important to note that Nova Scotia doesn’t have, nor does it aim to develop, traditional superyacht marinas. This approach is part of our charm and what draws people here. Instead, our focus is on ensuring the existing infrastructure, like floating docks, power, water, and Wi-Fi, meets a high standard. We prioritise enhancing traditional settings, such as timber wharves, to accommodate superyachts comfortably, blending our rich maritime heritage with modern necessities”.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300327/image/large-2b20dde4864e80172aa7dc50de863318.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300327">As we have observed, Atlantic Canada's charm as an unexpected superyacht destination is on the rise, presenting a refreshing alternative to the traditional yachting hotspots. However, this increasing popularity may present a double-edged sword. While it brings more attention to the region, there is a risk that it could impact its rustic, isolated appeal, which is part of what makes it so uniquely attractive to explorers and yachting enthusiasts. “Managing expectations of our visitors, local communities and service providers is a priority focus for us as we work to build a network of marine destinations while maintaining the authentic appeal of our people and places across Atlantic Canada”, Adam concluded.

Travel Inspiration: Looking to the Lesser Antilles

The community and this mentality bring me back year after year.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/289289/image/large-c27d2a108d1eefc7f32816a646c469f2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/289289">Hurowitz recommends spending between one and two weeks cruising around Alaska. “It gives me the opportunity to take guests outside the reach of civilization and show them the true wild side of Alaska, ensuring experiences and memories to last a lifetime.

Captain Zack Hurowitz talks exploring Alaska on 40m motor yacht Serengeti

A superyacht charter in Scandinavia is gloriously uncomplicated. Encompassing an expansive area of Europe that stretches from the meadowy lowlands of Denmark to the remote island of Svalbard, the Northernmost tip of Europe, Scandinavia is overflowing with diverse sweet spots waiting to be explored. The region’s pristine and peaceful waters are an off-the-beaten-path alternative to the saturated summer seas of the Mediterranean.It’s a place that, despite having something for everyone, retains a stylish undiscovered charisma. From Norway’s snow-crowned mountainous landscape, home to glaciers and icy peaks, to the cosmopolitan chic of Stockholm’s colourful streets. Scandinavian superyacht charter guarantees a unique combination of immense adventure and refined sophistication.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291283/image/large-c31028f9d79865bf3b1d5cc4b37b19b4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291283"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a>’s 91.5-metre motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4018" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tranquility91.5m (300'2&quot;)Oceanco2014">Tranquility</a> is a seasoned explorer vessel and no stranger to Scandinavian waters. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4018" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tranquility91.5m (300'2&quot;)Oceanco2014">Tranquility</a> exceeds the highest technical and aesthetic standards and is built to Ice Class, providing supreme comfort in all regions of the world, from blistering sun to frozen waters.Her versatility makes her the ideal superyacht for exploring Scandinavia, able to cruise comfortably in the region’s varied climate and landscape. Whether gliding through Norway’s frosty fjords or sailing the sunny seas surrounding Stockholm, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4018" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tranquility91.5m (300'2&quot;)Oceanco2014">Tranquility</a> delivers in every aspect.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4018" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tranquility91.5m (300'2&quot;)Oceanco2014">Tranquility</a>’s interior configuration is designed to house up to 18 guests, which can increase to 22 with the use of her convertible cabins. She’s the perfect vessel for large groups with exploration in mind. Guests onboard can experience a luxurious and comfortable charter, with the 31-man crew providing the ideal crew-to-guest ratio to ensure supreme service and hospitality.Her dazzling interior is the work of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/69" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Winch Design (Company)">Andrew Winch</a> of the award-winning <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/69" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Winch Design (Company)">Winch Design Studio</a>, who penned a sumptuous yet calming design with ornate detailing throughout. Lavish notes are woven into the fabric of her interior, seen in floor-to-ceiling murals, varied plush materials and the finest material finishings, such as Travertine Velluto marble and wenge wood detailing.Guests can relax among the many aesthetic and practical adornments onboard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4018" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tranquility91.5m (300'2&quot;)Oceanco2014">Tranquility</a>. The lower deck beach club transitions through to a wellness area, complete with a fully-equipped gym and an indulgent spa suite. After a day of exploring Scandinavia’s natural wonders, hiking coastal trails or shopping in local boutiques on cobbled streets, the plunge pool and Finnish sauna provide the perfect opportunity for downtime.&nbsp;Stockholm, Sweden’s capital and Scandinavia’s largest city, is a glorious destination which is regarded by many as one of the most picturesque capital cities in the world. The city sprawls across a Baltic Sea Archipelago of fourteen islands — earning itself the nickname “Venice of the North” — and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4018" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tranquility91.5m (300'2&quot;)Oceanco2014">Tranquility</a>’s Captain Jan Rautawaara recommended that guests allow at least two days in this Northern Venice to soak up all that it has to offer. Stockholm’s old town, Gamla Stan, is one of Europe’s most well-preserved historic centres that dates as far back as the Stone Age. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291284/image/large-8ff782532c9fa37f894b4c6dca0a9dca.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291284">The charming, beating heart of Stockholm, Gamla Stan is characterised by its colourful fairytale frontages, wonky cobbled streets and cosy restaurants, bars and shops that spill out onto Stortorget, the oldest square in the city. Captain Jan Rautawaara highlighted the magic of the area, explaining “A walk through the Old Town, with its numerous art galleries, cafes, and restaurants is wonderful.”Nuggets of cultural gold are nestled within Stockholm’s romantic appearance. The famous Vasa Museum is one of Scandinavia’s most visited museums, home to a multitude of maritime exhibitions and displaying the 64 gun warship Vasa, the best-preserved 17th-century ship, salvaged after sinking on her maiden voyage in 1628.Scandinavia’s beauty lies in its contrasts. Thousands of untouched islands lie in the archipelagos of Sweden and the Åland Islands. Just an overnight cruise from Stockholm, the Åland Islands are an autonomous Finnish archipelago situated in the Baltic Sea between Sweden and Finland. The Åland Islands are as beautiful as they are remote; of the 6,700 islands in the archipelago, only around 60 are inhabited. This leaves nature to run wild, resulting in crystal-clear babbling brooks, singing birds and unspoilt beaches and inlets.Captain Jan Rautawaara set the scene, “The Åland Islands have something that cannot really be experienced elsewhere. Spending a few days cruising in solitude around the archipelago, one can find true peace just by having the sea and nature surrounding you. This is what <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4018" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tranquility91.5m (300'2&quot;)Oceanco2014">Tranquility</a> at sea is all about.” Here, guests can visit the secluded, traditional fishing villages on the islands, characterised by quaint wooden houses painted in cheerful primary colours, rich green vegetation and spectacular sunsets.Home to an untamed energy, breathtaking fjords and mystical natural wonders, Norway is Sweden’s wild and wonderful neighbour. With the second longest coastline of all countries in the world, Norway is a maritime nation that only does nature on a large scale, and guests cruising here sign up for a once-in-a-lifetime experience in an incredibly dramatic cruising ground. From magnificent fjords to spectacular mountain ranges and waterfalls, Norway has an unforgettable and unbeaten natural landscape.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291282/image/large-13d2a9000c4247bd2ef5add1708f9754.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291282">The wild and rugged Lofoten Islands are regarded as one of the most stunning locations in Norway. In the summer months, guests can visit the white sandy beaches that are sprinkled around the perimeters of the islands. The archipelago is abundant in coastal hiking trails that weave across the islands and is home to picturesque fishing villages dotted within harbours and inlets. Lofoten has a distinctive scenery, with a mountain range running 160 kilometres in length. Utilising <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4018" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tranquility91.5m (300'2&quot;)Oceanco2014">Tranquility</a>’s helipad facilities, guests can go heliskiing in the Lofoten mountains and experience the most fantastic views of the region from the slopes.Norway’s fjords are narrow inlets of ocean that wind between cliffs, formed through the retreating glaciers thousands of years ago. It is possible to cruise through one of the many winding fjords. The best way to observe the magic of the Norwegian fjords is from one of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4018" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tranquility91.5m (300'2&quot;)Oceanco2014">Tranquility</a>’s five decks. The sublime Geirangerfjord winds for 15 kilometres in an S-shape, and has earned itself a spot as a UNESCO world heritage site. Within the fjord is the 410-metre Seven Sisters Waterfall, comprising seven separate water streams, the tallest of which boasts an incredible 250-metre free fall.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291286/image/large-7b4930c4bf73bc08c9b8232a8500700c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291286">The magic of the fjords is intensified by the silent atmosphere, and it is not uncommon to be the only vessel floating through the fjords. Captain Jan Rautawaara highlighted the various ways to explore the fjords on <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4018" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tranquility91.5m (300'2&quot;)Oceanco2014">Tranquility</a>, stating “While guests are able to explore the fjords on the water, it is also possible to use <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4018" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tranquility91.5m (300'2&quot;)Oceanco2014">Tranquility</a>’s helicopter facilities and discover the fjords by air. Exploring Norwegian fjords on a helicopter will undoubtedly offer fantastic views.”Situated in the Arctic Ocean, large areas of the Norwegian archipelago, Svalbard, are snowy wonderlands for nine months of the year. “There are a lot of different activities during these months, running from September until June” explained Captain Jan Rautawaara. Guests can visit the Søraust-Svalbard Nature Reserve located in the south-eastern part of the archipelago, and observe reindeer and their fierce predators, polar bears, roaming free in the snowy terrain.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291285/image/large-eb7d0180ed5a7835ab8f36bfb47852f2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291285">As well as Svalbard’s skiing and snowboarding opportunities, dog sledding is a fantastic option for those on a superyacht cruise in Svalbard. Due to snowy and icy conditions throughout the year, Norwegian huskies became a popular choice for locals needing to get around, and the activity has become synonymous with the region. The adventure element of this method of transport has christened dog sledding a must-do activity for those visiting Svalbard. The tireless hounds race through the endless white deserts, snow-crowned forests, and at twilight, when the aurora borealis — commonly referred to as the northern lights — illuminates the sky into woven waves of blues, purples and greens.This article is featured in the SuperYacht Times newspaper.&nbsp;<a href="https://shop.superyachttimes.com/report/the-superyacht-times-subscription" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Subscribe now</a>&nbsp;to receive your copy straight to your door and never miss another issue.
